Torture is never 'harmless error'

Honored to have been mentored by Sondra Crosby, MD and George Annas as we led this initiative to #EndUniversalShackling of our patients and bring concrete policy change to Boston Medical Center — and as we push forward, to other institutions, too!

Drs who administered forced rectal feeding accused of 'medicalised rape' …questions about whether the doctors involved in monitoring prisoners undergoing “enhanced #interrogation ” were complicit in #torture . ⁦Sondra Crosby, MD⁩ ⁦Katherine Eban⁩ ausdoc.com.au/news/doctors-w…

Humanitarian workers are not “legitimate targets.” The deliberate bombing of UN schools and buildings in #Gaza , and the killing of UN staff, is a grave violation of international law.

Kudos to BMC family medicine resident physician Brett Lewis for his thoughtful opinion piece on whyDoctors in the U.S. Shouldn't Be Silent About Gaza | TIME 🙏 time.com/6337606/doctor…

Time out.

Disturbing findings, and a powerful reminder that #medical officers are not absolved of #ethical and #legal responsibility for their actions when they commit heinous acts on behalf of and with permission of the state'. From Crosby and Glantz ⤵️

The doctor-patient relationship has been held as sacred for >2,000 years.
In the US for >30 years, it has been invaded almost at-will by mega-corporations whose only concern is maximizing profits.
The results have been catastrophic for patients and doctors alike.

And reported the grisly details of a CIA practice the agency did not want the world to see.

Happy Holidays from the Inpatient Medical Service at Boston Medical Center ! Thank you to all working on Christmas!

Unethical Medical Officer Participation at CIA Secret Interrogation Facilities jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

This piece is revolting. Actually revolting. The piece pretends to offer tools on how to talk about Palestine, but is actually a laundry list of talking points about why Israel is in the clear. Shame on our profession. Shame on the gaslighting we are part of. #FreePalestine

Featuring an end to my IM rotation last week with a day of having the privilege of calling Sondra Crosby, MD my attending 🤝🏼🩺🥼 and literally running into DJ Smithers this morning!

More findings from the military judge’s far reaching ruling;

—The prisoner has post traumatic stress disorder “likely related, at least in part, to the abuse he experienced in” CIA custody.

“There is no evidence” that he “ever received any treatment specifically for PTSD.”

“Since the early 20th century, medical knowledge has concluded that there is no medical reason to conduct so-called ‘rectal feeding.’ Although fluids can be absorbed through the rectum in emergencies, food or nutrition cannot.” —Judge Acosta

The judge’s ruling is the first major decision at the war court about the admissibility of interrogations by federal agents who were brought to Guantánamo Bay to build a fresh case against former C.I.A. prisoners. Background… nytimes.com/2023/06/17/us/…
